Catching up with sleep

wiseheart... was my main agenda today. I had difficulties falling asleep last night; when you're still awake at 2am and have to get up at 6:30, taking naps during the next day is life saving. So that's what I did today. Two hour-long naps basically saved my life and what's left of my sanity. I can be very uncoordinated when sleep-deprived.
In the rest of the day I've sewn together Little Monkey Boy's trousers (all I still need to make for them are the suspenders), did a tiny bit of writing but gave up after a short while (it wasn't for any of the unfinished stories, just a bit of independent experimenting), cooked lunch, solved crossword puzzles and watched some telly. It was a slow day, but a needed one.
The lunch part, though, was a funny one. Originally, I intended to make cauliflower cream soup (sorry,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
noadvertising!), but in my zombified state I've mistaken a small bag of frozen chicken breast for a small bag of frozen cauliflower. I kid you not! I only realized my mistake when the poor chicken breast had already been boiling in the soup for, oh, twenty minutes or so! Trying to save the situation, I hurriedly threw some frozen carrots, parsley roots and celery into the soup, threw the whole thing in the blender when everything was cooked through, and added some cooking cream to the mix. Mum liked it, so it wasn't a wasted effort, but I'm still mourning my planned, beautiful cauliflower cream soup. :(
